CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS:

10th IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL)

7th-10th September 2020, Valparaiso, Chile

Web page: https://cdstc.gitlab.io/icdl-2020/

An IEEE Computational Society-sponsored conference

==== Important Dates ====

Workshop Proposals Open: 15th December 2019

Workshop Proposals Deadline: 15th January 2020

Workshop Proposals Notification: 15th February 2020

Workshops: 7th September 2020

==== Overview ====

We invite experts in different areas to organize either a half-day or
full-day tutorial, special session or a workshop. The goal of the workshops
is to provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss emerging
research questions and challenges. Tutorials will provide insights into
specific topics through hands-on training and interactive experiences.

Workshop organizers have several responsibilities, including coordinating
workshop participation and content, publicizing and providing the program
on time and moderating the program throughout the workshop. ICDL will
support the organization with rooms, audio-visual equipment, coffee breaks
and poster boards.

==== Scope and Topics ====

The main list of topics of interest includes, but not limited to:

- principles and theories of development and learning;

- development of skills in biological systems and robots;

- nature vs nurture, developmental stages;

- models on the contributions of interaction to learning;

- verbal, non-verbal and multi-modal interaction;

- models on active learning;

- architectures for lifelong learning;

- emergence of body and affordance perception;

- analysis and modelling of human motion and state;

- models for prediction, planning and problem solving;

- models of human-human and human-robot interaction;

- emergence of verbal and non-verbal communication;

- epistemological foundations and philosophical issues;

- robot prototyping of human and animal skills;

- ethics and trust in computational intelligence and robotics;

- social learning in humans, animals, and robots.
